You can argue about the meaning of these words until the cows come home but the US Supreme Court has never set a precedent for this. George Romney, born of 2 missionary US citizen parents might have succeeded in this but the politicos did not want to risk the presidency on a court decision like this. Don't misquote the actual words.
